We used block programming and angles to code a journey for our Sphero robots. We used our TWMTDW skills. Then we played a driving game which was very fun.
One of our tasks this week was Graffiti Spelling. It helped us remember our sounds. We used the corridor because it was so quiet!
We have been learning a new story this week – The Freedom Bird. We used our Teamwork Makes the Dream Work skills to make life sized hunters (a story character) and decided what a fierce, strong hunter might look like and act like. We used the ideas in our writing.
Some of our groups are practising spelling, reading and blending words using SMBBRW (Say, make, break, blend, read, write!)
We are great at it.
We used technology to control the school’s Sphero robots. We were getting the hang of controlling them manually before we start using draw coding and block coding to make them do tasks.
We were using beadstrings to see the connections between the 2, 4 and 8 times tables.
We were learning about Elkonin boxes and how to fit our spelling words into them. We played games with them.
We worked on our skills and used Lego to play creationary, hurdles and tricky towers. Here we are testing that our hurdles can be hurdled.
Here we are working on a group writing version of this week’s story – Monkey Sees, Monkey Does. We wrote better, awesome and amazing versions of Mr Chrystal’s boring version. We wrote possibly the best version of the story in the world as a class!
We have been comparing fractions using visual models. We used < > and = to say whether they were greater than, less than or equivalent.
